WEEK 1 DAY 1

Dear friends!

I am proud to say that I had decided and committed to become a Don Juan. And it’s motivating to see the positive changes in the members who are committed to take care of this area of their lives. This community is really an inspiration.

Today’s the first day of my Don Juan Boot Camp, today’s the first day that I’ll start my first eye-contact experiment session and today’s the first day of my journey, a journey I’m certain that I’ll look back one day and be grateful and proud that I took this step.

WEEK 1 DAY 2

The eye contact experiment turns out to be a fun exercise, not quite as difficult as I thought. I managed to maintain solid eye contact with most of the HBs I came across today. And the SURPRISING thing was THEY shy away.

During the entire exercise, however, there was one thing that I find particularly helpful. I was smiling to all the chics that I maintained eye contact with. I find the act of smiling helps a lot in terms of making me feel playful and relax. The body does affect the mind. If you consciously act in a playful and relax manner for long enough, you’ll find yourself to be in a totally relax and playful state.

I’m not quite sure what other factors that helped me to be so in the zone and relaxed when I was doing the exercise, probably because of the music or the **** load of endorphin that I get from my work out. Whatever it is, I’m doing something really right.

I will call it a day for now, and we’ll see what’s in store for me tomorrow.

WEEK 1 DAY 3

I find it a lil more challenging to carry out the excercise today. For some reason, many AFC thoughts just creep into my mind. However, I still managed to partially complete my eye-contact excercise with quite a bit of difficulty.

I'm certain that I'll do a lot better tomorrow.

WEEK 1 DAY 4

The eye contact exercise now comes natural to me. In fact, I have a habit of always maintaining a lil longer eye contact with any cute chics I see.

WEEK 1 DAY 5

I still find it challenging to get myself started to say hi to the chics I see. It sounds so easy, but actually quite difficult to pull off. I guess the transformation from an AFC to a Don Juan is like working out. I simply cannot expect the Don Juan muscles that you rarely to lift as much weight as the people who had been lifting religiously. So, I'll head up and start the "hi" thing going. It's all about incremental increase. One step at a time.

WEEK 1 DAY 6 - Part I

I FINALLY SAID MY FIRST 'HI' TO A HB7.5. I'm feeling incredible right now. Although I'm really with the eye contact exercise, saying 'hi' after initiating is quite challenging.

I have a question, do you guys just say hi to girls walking alone or in group too? If so, do you just say hi to the target or acknowledging the group too?

WEEK 1 DAY 7

I had accomplished 2 'hi' so far. I will keep on doing what I'm doing until I get 50 'hi'. I don't care how long it takes, I'll stick with it and do whatever it's necessary to make it happen. Then and only then, I'll move to WEEK 2.

WEEK 1 DAY 18

Proud to say that I accomplished 3 more 'hi's. THAT'S A TOTAL OF 5. Although it seems like I'm hitting rock bottom by looking at the speed of my progress, remember, THE GREATEST THING ABOUT HITTING ROCK BOTTOM IS THAT EVERY STEP THAT I TAKE FROM NOW ON, IS A STEP UPWARD. :-D Thanks The_Shezzler for your encouragement, now let's get to the door step again...

Keep at it young one. You have the right attitude. When you feel down, just pick yourself back up. You are doing fine.

WEEK 1 DAY 20

2 more 'hi's, that's a TOTAL OF 7 'hi's, which means 3 more to double digits :-D SWEET!!!

This is kinda goiing real slow lol. By time you finish the bootcamp it would have done been 5 years and some hb3 would have married you alrdy.

But on the real note what you should do is go shopping down town and just make eye contact and say hi as your moving around.

goodluck on your bootcamp and don't give up after week 3.

Don't overanalyze things so soon, short answer: Whichever you want to do, but, you're a budding dj and the undertanding of these answers will come to you with experience........I find that alot of the experiences I had from bootcamp were purely experimental and you will soon learn how to view things from a learning perspective rather than a judgemental perspective.

You're doing great man, keeping that desire is THE most important part.......like Tinkerbell says, "Think happy thoughts" and you can learn to fly
